BTC Futures Analysis: Key Levels, and Potential ScenariosBig Picture:
BTC Futures reached a new high at 108,960 last Tuesday Dec 17, 2024. FED rate decision and 2025 rate cut projections tampered down from 4 to 2 resulted in market sell-off. BTC futures were also down reaching a low of 92,355 on Friday and closing at 96,600.
CME Futures halt early tomorrow and are closed on Wednesday Dec 25th, 2024 for Christmas holiday. We also have a very light economic calendar. Lower liquidity during the holiday period may push prices in either direction.
Key Levels to Watch:
Nov 18th Week Hi: 101,110
Dec 10th Low: 94,785
Last Week Low: 92,355
LIS (Line in Sand) for short-term bulls: 92000- 90,000 support zone.
Scenario 1: Consolidation Above Key Support
BTC futures further consolidate between Dec 10th Low and Nov 18th Week Hi at 101,110. Price did not close below LIS last week. As long as this support holds, price holding above 94,785 may provide a setup towards 100,000- 101,110.
Scenario: 2: reakdown below LIS
Break down of LIS will see a deeper pull back towards 78,000. Here it will be a wait and see approach for BTC futures to hold below 90,000 mark and expect further downside if buyers fail to push prices back above.

BTC1! - HARD TO BUY AT THE TOP? - BUY AT THE RED LINE - WEEKLYBTC Future price is ranging at the top of his historical price range zone.
We feel that there is a potential for the price to just leave earth and go beyond easily and at the same time deception can occur with possibility to see the price squeeze down buyers before going in its potential historical run up to new highs.
This is when DCA or Entry could potentially be done at the RED LINE zone. Long Entry to not miss history!
Who still believe that it could go to zero? here fundamental analysis is necessary depending on how regulation is going to evolve in the next years....
BTC – Weekly Perspective – 02/25 to 03/03As reported in a previous analysis, the crypto finally managed to overcome and remain above an important resistance band, 44.9K. A beautiful victory for the bulls and, with that, the path seems to be clear for prices to seek the historical top region at 65K and, consequently, scare away once and for all the ABC corrective pattern of ELLIOTT's final sequence. (12345ABC).
Based on this premise, don't be surprised if there is a drop to the 40K range, as a drop like that is within the corrective script for any steeper climb. If this corrective process takes place, we can think of new levels of increase in the following values: 55.4K and finally, 65K.
And now, is it possible to dream of this bullish pattern for crypto? This pattern usually happens at high times, demonstrating that the asset in question is the hot ticket. If this bullish pattern holds true, it will closely resemble the pattern of the true protective asset. Click here and find out what this protective asset is. Below is an image of the possible pattern that could emerge, as well as the upward pivot on the weekly chart.

Crypto Spring Beckons As Regulatory Fog ClearsAI hot; Crypto not! That’s set to change. Bitcoin prices have bounced back even as AI hype hogs the newsfeed.
Crypto was disregarded as a product of inflated bull market fuelled by easy money last year. “Risk-on” assets like Bitcoin (BTC) plunged sharply. Subsequent recovery has been refreshingly consistent suggesting a potential resurgence.
BTC stands 80% higher YTD, outperforming the S&P-500, Nasdaq-100, and Gold.
The collapse of Luna, and FTX, among others resulted in much-needed deleveraging and separated the wheat from the chaff.
Some regulatory guardrails are justifiably necessary for investor protection and responsible industry growth. With a positive resolution of Ripple Labs’ lawsuit against the SEC, a more disciplined regulatory approach appears to prevail.
The improving regulatory landscape, rising institutional adoption, and falling US inflation are likely to drive BTC prices higher this year into the next halving cycle.
This paper posits a long position in Micro BTC futures with an entry at 29,750 combined with a target of 36,000 hedged by a stop at 26,400, yielding a reward-to-risk ratio of 1.85x.
UNPARALLELED BTC OUTPERFORMANCE
YTD, BTC has significantly outperformed even the sizzling Nasdaq-100 index which has rallied thanks to large AI-driven gains. Interestingly, the correlation between them indicate that each had unique driving forces.
Like Gold, BTC rally this year was driven by crisis in US regional banks. The collapse of SVB and Credit Suisse drove higher demand for alternative assets.
More bullish drivers await for BTC. First, clarity in regulatory landscape. Second, rising institutional adoption. Third, BTC Halving next year. Finally, falling inflation.
REGULATORY CLARITY
A major ruling in the lawsuit between the SEC and Ripple Labs has lent much needed clarity. The ruling highlighted that XRP’s programmatic and exchange sales did not constitute investment contracts. Though, sales to institutional buyers did constitute a contract.
Though the lawsuit is far from complete, the ruling did indicate that cryptocurrencies are not securities by default. This highlighted that new regulations are warranted and the heavy-handed SEC enforcement in recent months may need to be tempered.
Regulation of digital assets is also progressing well elsewhere. The EU’s MiCA regulation is already in effect. Several other countries are developing regulatory frameworks.
Although this ruling does not have a direct impact on Bitcoin, which was already considered by the SEC and CFTC as a commodity, it does provide much-needed clarity to the larger crypto industry which Bitcoin will benefit from.
RISING INSTITUTIONAL ADOPTION
New and growing institutional entrants in the space have spurred hopes of greater adoption.
A spot Bitcoin ETF has been in the works for the last two years. Grayscale’s initial application was rejected by the SEC citing that the underlying asset lacked adequate security measures for investors.
Since then, new spot BTC ETF applications have popped up, most notably from Blackrock and Fidelity.
Blackrock is the world’s largest asset manager and their entry in the space has revived hopes. Though these initial applications were rejected, they have filed amendments that include a surveillance sharing agreement with Coinbase which is currently under review.
The launch of EDX markets, a crypto exchange created by US financial majors Charles Schwab, Citadel and Fidelity offers investors a much needed trusted and reliable digital asset exchange. This addresses one of the major concerns from last year - Operational and Liquidity risks.
BTC HALVING
Halving is the periodic reduction in block rewards for mining BTC. Every ~4 years, the rewards for mining BTC are halved effectively reducing the available and future supply. This has previously led to a rally in BTC prices.
Currently, BTC trades 2.5x its price at its last halving. At its peak in November 2021, price was 7x the price at last halving.
The next halving is expected around April 2024, coinciding with the expected start of Fed rate cuts. Price gains witnessed during previous halving’s are unlikely as BTC’s market capitalisation grows.
FALLING INFLATION
Finally, falling US inflation foretells the end of the Fed’s rate hiking cycle. CME’s FedWatch tool forecasts one last rate hike this month with rate cuts expected at the end of January 2024.
Loose monetary policy will act like a tailwind for bitcoin prices.
BULLISH POSITIONING ON CME BTC DERIVATIVES
OI in CME Bitcoin futures has increased sharply over the past month as have the total traders
More of this OI is also positioned long. Asset managers have increased their net long positioning by 40% over the past month highlighting bullish sentiment.
Interestingly, leveraged funds have increased their net short positioning in the same period indicating bearish sentiment.
Contango in BTC futures term structure has steepened increasing the likelihood of higher prices in future.
TRADE SET UP
CME’s cryptocurrency suite offers robust index methodology, and regulated exposure to digital assets. CME cryptocurrency futures are also cash settled, removing the hassle of managing private keys or dealing with unregulated exchanges.
Full-size BTC contracts offer exposure to 5 BTC while micro futures allow for more granular exposure with contract size of 0.1 BTC.
Micro BTC contracts have a margin requirement of just USD 760 which translates to built-in leverage of 4x at current prices.
• Entry: 29,750
• Target: 36,000
• Stop Loss: 26,400
• Profit at Target: USD 625
• Loss at Stop: USD 335
• Reward to Risk: 1.85x

Unique Update Of BitcoinHello, welcome to this BTC /USDT 1DAY chart update by CRYPTOSANDERS.
I have tried to bring the best possible outcome to this chart.
CHART ANALYSIS:-Bitcoin (BTC) fell for a fifth straight session on Monday, as the token moved closer to a breakout below $16,000.
BTC/USD slipped to an intraday low of $16,086.36 to start the week, which comes less than 24 hours after hitting a peak of $16,594.41.
As a result of today’s drop, bitcoin moved to its lowest point since last Tuesday, November 22, when the price was at a low of $15,613.
Looking at the chart, Monday’s sell-off intensified once a breakout on the relative strength index (RSI) occurred.
The index, which is currently tracking at 36.89, moved below a recent support point of 38.00 and looks to be heading for a lower floor at 35.50.
Should price strength reach its perceived destination, This will likely lead to BTC falling below $16,000.

THIS CHART IS INVERTED!!!! EVERYTHING IS INVERTED!! Hello.
This is my analysis for the bitcoin against the US dollar.
The Fibo. level for the end of the 5th wave is 100% it might go further but I highly doubt that.
if the 5th wave is extended it might go to the 127% or the 138%.
this analysis will FAIL under two scenarios:
1- the price breaks the end of the 3rd wave and then breaks the end of the 4th wave. Which will result in a compound correction .
2- the 4th wave breaks the end of the 1st wave.

Bitcoin made retested downtrend line on D1. According to my "Take profit" indicator we bounced at real value price in June. Usually when we touch this line we going to test take profit line on D1 timeframe. Marked this zone on a chart. Also my indicator "Direction" showed signal to buy, so now im waiting Bitcoin around 25-29K in this range and signals to take profit on this both indicators and others.
Possible Targets
➡️After retest trend line and fundamental value line - 25000 - 29000
➡️When we touch take profit line in this ill looking to open local short
➡️Watching on FOMC rate at the beginning November and continuation local uptrend.
In December Ill expect test 20K again
